I love the color scheme of Manjaro, but I'm really fine with ubuntu (and pretty excited with 20.04, it will be a good day)

Resident Evil 2 is mentioned... But that game requires WMF support....

I thought that GE doesn't ship with mf anymore, well, good news.

It looks pretty interesting, I will try it later...

This reminds me that some years ago I installed the Big Picture as a DE on Ubuntu, the compositor was amazing. Someone knows how to install it?

It's sad that there's no tier in this bundle, $30 is a bit too much in my country

DiRT4 is SO GOOD... I'm really enjoying it, even on "simulator mode" isn't frustrating as Rally. I loved Dirt 2, but didn't like dirt 3. Dirt 4 is a proper sequel to 2.

If you want to buy some games to play on proton, must be aware that some games uses a specific DRM that proton can't "bypass". F1 Race Stars is one of them, it's the only game that I want to play but I can't.

Quoting: Duck Hunt-Pr0People still play that CS thing? :D
CS is bigger than ever, there's a lot of big national and international championships.

To be fair, I really doubt that there's a FPS better than CS for competitive. Quake Champions have a good scenario, but it's a little bit niche tournament. Maybe if they release a non class based quake, it will become relevant again

Some weeks ago, I looked for the "Steam Calculator" from SteamDB (https://steamdb.info/calculator/) and like the site says, I'm disappointed, because there's >100 games that I never opened it.

But I couldn't resist to this bundle, I want to play Road redemption, MotoGP and Dirt4, and I'm curious about WRC.

So I get the second tier.

Canonical need a little testing hand for a newer Steam package on Ubuntu 20.04

I tried to install on virtual box before any big change on my hdd, and the installation was a little weird, taking a lot of time and installing and removing just after some packages. The VM have enough RAM, storage and all cores enabled.

Maybe I will try to install it again.

Valve has banned tens of thousands of Dota 2 accounts as they tweak their smurf detection
12 Feb 2020 at 3:49 pm UTC

I really hate smurfs, it's more inconvenient than hackers. The problem is that they receive views, just do a little search on twitch, you will see a lot of smurfs playing CSGO.

In the case of CSGO they should make more easier to rank up in the early levels, so a Smurf will have some trouble to maintain in low level

CSGO is an amazing game, the more you play, more you want to play. The game mechanics are incredible, straffing and spray are crucial to dominate and you will improve naturally, the game is well balanced too, with nice maps which needs a good teamplay.

I've CSGO since the launch, but I played it just a few months ago, because of the big championship that CSGO have, it's so much enjoyable, to be fair I prefer to watch some matches of cs go than other sports on tv.

ESL and Blast are to awesome championship on twitch right now.

Quoting: SonataI just wished the performance would be comparable to the windows version... I remember getting about 300fps before switching to Linux and now I'm around 100. I mean, playable, but unfortunate since I'm using a 144hz monitor :D
Well to me the performance is on par... Maybe you have a compositor issue?
